Florida State University Top Questions

I don't like huge lecture hall classes where the professeor dosen't teach. My math class this semester has over a hundred people in it, that is fine because i have had lecture classes before, but in this class the teacher dosent teach but rather gives examples of problems, sometimes you don;t learn anything.

The quality I like least about my school is, on occasion, the inability to enroll in the classes you want. Due to the large number of students attending, some of the better classes with the most desireable times tend to fill up quickly, leaving you with a class you didn't plan on taking. This doesn't happen often, but when it does, it can be a pain.

The worst thing about Florida State University is that it is not as diverse as i would like. I like to be around all different types of people and get to know different cultures. You don't really see that at FSU.

Parking!

Honestly, I love FSU. If I had to choose one bad thing, it would have to be the weather, which is not even reflective of the school itself, more or less just the city. It rains quite a bit, but aside from that the school is amazing. I have had wonderful teachers, and there is an incredible amount of activaties available. There is something for everyone at FSU.

The worst thing about Florida State University is the class sizes. I have been in classes larger than my graduating high school class. With classes as large as 500 students, it is easy to feel lost in a crowd. There is a lack of connection between student and instructor. Scheduling meetings with your instructor is the best way to receive assistance with the material, but even that can be difficult as 500 students are trying to schedule these meetings too. Oversized lecture halls filled to capacity are definitely a down fall of Florida State.

The worst thing about FSU is the parking by far. In order to get a spot in the mornings you have to get on campus at least an hour early, but even then, you have to wait in line for a very long time. It really hinders the people that live on campus from going off campus during the day because they are afraid to lose their parking spot. It shouldn't be that way.

The worst thing about my school has to be the inconsitency of the cafeteria food. One would think that after the painful years of middle and high school food, one would be alleviated from this problem. To be more specific, the food isn't at all bad, but once in a while, you end up staring at choices that seem to lack origin and you imagine yourself getting sick after digestion. But luckily, the university does have a hundred other choices for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

The worst thing about my school has got to be the amount of students that go here. Within my first two years of attending classes here I would have to say a good 3/4s of them have been in lecture halls. Class sizes range anywhere from 300-500 in these lecture halls and its hard to get to know the professor.

The small amount of student parking.

The worst thing about Florida State is the cost for tuition and books. It is for this reason I am trying so hard to attain scholarships to continue my education to one day become a Certified Athletic Trainer. Aside from the cost of the institution, there really is nothing to complain about. Florida State is a wonderful institution that provides a plethera of student activites. One such example that I am taking advantage of is the Student Success Center. In this facility, students are able to get help writing resumes as well as mach interviews for job hunting experience.

The university is a large university so it places a greater degree of responsibility upon the student to be self disciplined with studies and keeping up in class. If a student comes from a smaller high school there will be an adjustment and the student must be prepared for that reality. The cirriculum offers great choices and diversity but the disadvantages of having a wide variety of choices is a large university with larger class sizes. When i was a freshman at times i remember feeling overwhelmed but I got through it.

The student body is generally tolereant of binge drinking, unsafe sex, and drug use. Not really the school's fault, but many times it isn't frowned upon enough as a safety issue, not just a moral one.

Some classes I am required to take that do not apply to my major (liberal arts classes), and I find it difficult to apply what I learn in these classes to my major.

The worst thing about my school is probably the driving distance. I have to take an hour drive to get here, but it's only once a week so I shouldn't complain.

The worst thing about this school is that people don't realize how incredible this university is and how awesome some of it's programs are. It's definitely underrated and it's really terrible to hear people speak badly about the school and the city without ever having set foot here.

I would say the food is the worst part. It is cafeteria style and everything tastes and looks as if it has been thawed and microwaved. Besides the vegetables being overcooked, the meat is so tough that you can't even cut through it.

The worst thing about my school is the abundance of drinking going on. I understand that it is college, but you would think as young adults in an academic setting they would be smart enough to understand that drinking underage and getting drunk are just not healthy.

There is drama within stupid groups.

The worst thing for me is that I feel like the school is too big. I would like it to be more smaller and personal. The class sizes are quite large and I think that puts a handicap on learning for some because you can't really do hands on learning.
